31-31D Charnley Street, Whitefield, Manchester, M45 6BG

An excellent opportunity to acquire a rare and versatile commercial site situated in the heart of Whitefield. Comprising five individual storage/business units (31, 31A, 31B, 31C and 31D Charnley Street), the property occupies a generous plot extending to approximately 0.15 acres and offers a wide range of potential uses for investors, owner-occupiers, developers, and local businesses. Planning in principle from Bury council for 3 four bedroom houses on the site (please see drawings).
Brought to the market by Cardwells Estate Agents Bury in conjunction with BTG Eddison, Auction date is 27th-28th July 2026, this unique site represents an exciting opportunity to purchase a collection of self-contained commercial units in a highly accessible and sought-after location.
The site has previously been successfully operated as a multi-let commercial investment, with the individual units generating a combined rental income in the region of £40,000 per annum when fully occupied. The units are now offered vacant aside from one unit which is rented on an informal basis with 1 months notice, giving prospective purchasers complete flexibility — whether to refurbish and re-let, occupy the premises for their own business needs, or explore potential redevelopment opportunities (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions).
Each unit benefits from its own independent utility metering, with the exception of two units which currently share a meter, providing a practical arrangement for individual occupation and management. The layout of the site lends itself well to a variety of uses including general storage, workshops, trade space, small business operations, or other commercial purposes (subject to suitability and consents).
The accommodation would benefit from refurbishment, offering buyers the chance to modernise and maximise the potential of each unit. With strong historical rental performance, multiple income streams, and the flexibility of separate units, this property presents an attractive proposition for commercial landlords and investors seeking a value-add opportunity.
